Writer's Block

Sometimes I can't think of anything interesting (at least to me) to write here.  At other times I can't make up my mind which topic to choose of all the things I think I might like to say.  Last night was a case of the first option.

I spent the day out shopping with Mom and Sandy, picking up bargains all over town.  There was no store with particularly exciting service but at the same time none was notably bad either.  So I can't do a rant or sunshine report on that.

There were no vastly exciting sales on yesterday but we did find quite a few items that were hardly used, nearly new and 50% off.  That's how I keep our freezer filled.  So I picked up some nice steaks and chicken. 

I lied.  There was one very exciting sale (for me) yesterday.  Country Harvest bread at Giant Tiger less than $1.50 (can't remember the exact price).  And they actually had lots in stock when we were there.

Quick question . . . why is it I cannot go into a Dollar Store and come out empty handed????  I was determined not to spend any money in Dollarama because I'd had a lovely spree at the Dollarama in London less than 2 weeks ago.  But out I came with felt flowers, ramekins, stickers and I don't even remember what else.  I think dollar stores are my addiction.

Did you see the photo of my mint plant?  Awesome, huh?  So I decided to get another plant.  I love Rosemary Potato Wedges (better than french fries) so I picked up a rosemary plant.  It was the last one in Walmart and spindly but I have confidence that I won't kill it thanks to my new water globes.


Yeah, there is snow in the background . . . sigh!

See ya
Pam

I do enjoy fiddleheads.  They have a green bean-y, asparagus-like, pea-ish taste and they are just fun to look at. From Chateline Magazine: HOW-TO It’s Almost Fiddlehead Season! Here’s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief  Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmers’ market, buy them while you can. Before chowing down on these little springtime delicacies, there’s a few things you should know first since fiddleheads can cause food poisoning if they’re not cooked properly. What are fiddleheads? These tightly curled coils are ostrich fern fronds. They start appearing in late April and early May in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and are usually found in forests, marshes and by rivers and streams. Taste-wise, fiddleheads, which are popular amongst food foragers, are...

Week #2 Challenge: Paper . . . and I mean ALL of your paper.

Annual Organization Challenge Week #2   How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to  S.P.A.C.E.  your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT:  Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE:  bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box.
